ARLINGTON, Va. -- Addy Flint had a busy week at school, so she was unable to stay awake for the end of the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final last week.

But that wasn't a concern for the 10-year-old from Alexandria, Virginia during the Washington Capitals' 3-1 win against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 3 of the best-of-7 series Saturday. She watched it with her family and friends who celebrated the Capitals' first-ever home victory in the Cup Final.

Flint's friend, Capitals forward T.J. Oshie, assisted on Evgeny Kuznetsov's winning goal at 12:50 of the second period.

In some ways, the New York Islanders are more than just a hockey team. 

From Bayport to Brooklyn, the Islanders are active members of the community, doing what they can off the ice to make a difference. This season, the Islanders raised over $1M this season for community initiatives through events, fundraisers and donations to the Islanders Children's Foundation. 
 
"It's nice to be a part of something bigger," Scott Mayfield said. "Sometimes we get entrenched in hockey and that's our life and our world, but at the same time there's more out there."

NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Devils forward Taylor Hall called cancer patient Nahum Flores his "good luck charm" following a 4-3 comeback victory against the Carolina Hurricanes at Prudential Center on Tuesday.

For Nahum, 12, watching his favorite player get three assists while seated with family and friends, was a dream come true.

Devin Roque was hooked.

One trip to Bridgestone Arena, one glance of Pekka Rinne, one experience that only hockey can provide - that was it. He wanted nothing more than to play the game.

And then they got the diagnosis.

Kendall James definitely knows how to celebrate.

GLENDALE -- The Coyotes, working in conjunction with FOX Sports Arizona, raised $50,000 for Phoenix Children's Hospital thanks to an in-game telethon staged during the network's broadcast of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild.
